On the morning of that day, Madame Guiccioli parted with him, never more to behold him. Of that parting, no particulars are to be found in the " Memoirs," by Moore, the " Conversations," by Lady Bles- sington, or, indeed, in any other account of Byron and his affairs in Italy. Byron had lashed his imagination into a sort of romantic frenzy and enthusiasm, on the subject of the struggle of the Greeks for their liberation from Turkish tyranny. He had a generous feeling of devotion to the interest...s of liberty in all lands. But at this particular juncture he was becoming tired of Italy, and had just witnessed the hopelessness of an attempt there for freedom, and the ruin which that un- successful attempt had brought on many of his Italian ac- quaintances and the allies of his political opinions. A few months before, he had spoken of quitting Italy for England, and bidding farewell for ever to one who had been the de- light of his existence there: but then, when the time for de- parture came, his courage failed, he could not separate from 44 La dame de ses pens&es." It was the same, in some respects, on this occasion ; he talked for a long time to her of this romantic expedition, he descanted on its pleasure, its perils, and excitement, and sometimes half seriously, half ironically, of its glories.
